Virginia Mitigation Bank Development
and Asset Management
Various Counties, Virginia

Evergreen Environmental, LLC, staff has initiated and managed
the development of six mitigation banks totaling more than 140
wetland credits in the Potomac River watershed in Virginia for
Marsh Resources. These projects which began in 1999 and continue
to today include the following:

Great Oaks Wetland Bank – Virginia Department of
Transportation: This project was developed under contract to
VDOT to provide 15 credits of forested wetlands. Prior to
the wetlands being restored this site had been farmed for
many years.

Cedar Run Wetland Bank – Virginia Department of
Transportation: Construction of this project, which is being
built under contract to VDOT, began this September and will
be completed in late 2006. It will provide 17 acres of
forested wetlands within the floodplain of Cedar Run.

Pandora Farm Wetland Bank – Metropolitan Washington
Airport Authority: On Pandora Farm the fields had been deep
ripped to promote internal drainage. All of the small
streams on this farm had been straightened and deepened to
convey water off the fields as rapidly as possible.
Historically these small streams meandered slowly across the
floodplain. Construction included reengaging these small
streams with their floodplain.
